What do you collect?

[ramesees]

I suppose it could be called a collection but everywhere I go on holiday or a short trip I pick up a mug or two along with some shot glasses.

hey, it is like collecting unopened toys.    same thing.   collectors are not exactly practical in any sense.

Notebooks.. I have no idea why, I just have a strange obsession with them, I don't even write in them...

 

Funnily enough I don't like Moleskine.

[Mockingbird]

lots and lots and lots of empty glass bottles.  Hehe. 

 

I have to keep taking them to the recyclers.

Snowglobes:

I was going around the Caribbean and wanted to bring back a memento - and realised I never collected anything.  I decided to get a snow globe.  It became a joke that I collected snowglobes, and had 1.  Then people started buying me them, and now I somehow seem to have a collection from the places I go.  It's VERY tongue in cheek

 

Shot Glasses:

Anywhere I go, if they sell a branded shot glass, I will buy it.

 

Baseballs:

As above - location or commemorative baseballs.

 

Optimus Prime:

I used to have basically every released Transformer.  This became ridiculous, so I gave them all to my nephew.  I kept every Optimus Prime, and now have pretty much every version heading back to the 80s.

Pez:

Dunno, just collect them.

Not necessarily something I technically collect for myself but I did snow globes for my daughter, kinda made my trips away a little more fun. It never turned into a big collection and sometimes I couldn't find one in the country I was in but I thought it was pretty cool, in fact I think by the end I appreciated it more than she did

I like finding them, and yeah sometimes that's tricky - it's not a mission, but I do like spending a little while looking around naff stores

Console Games & Hardware

I have quite a games collection going: C16/Plus4, C64, SEGA Maser System, SEGA Mega Drive, SEGA Mega CD, SEGA Saturn, SEGA Game Gear, Xbox, Xbox 360, PlayStation / PocketStation, PS2, PS3, Gameboy, Wii, GC, DS & associated PC ports.

• I've managed to collect most of the Sonic Team cartridge and CD games for most UK platforms now - all in very good condition and working
• I own most of the Metal Gear games released (multi platform) with the exception of PlayStation Portable titles & NES. I've even got (somewhere) the PC-CD UK versions of MGS and MGS Integral.
• I also have a ludicrous number of Final Fantasy PAL/UK titles spanning up to PlayStation 2 era inc. PC-CD versions of FFVII & FFVIII (boxed).
• I've got all of the SEGA Mickey Mouse * of Illusion games on 8bit / 16bit including dual titles (except GG as I have the MS versions).
• Most of the Halo titles except for Xbox One
• I own quite a few UK/PAL Xbox 360's - 2005 to 2012 (around 8) & various limited edition controllers.

I have some old computer chips. I tried for years to get them all and it created a mess so I got rid of a lot of them and kept the basics. I have some old Intel 286's and some old Cyrix chips as well.

 

I also collect "found" dimes. My wife and I have this "thing" we find dimes all the time. Yeah we come across pennies too but mostly dimes. We keep the dimes we find.

Do you go for literally every version, or just the main ones? There's a lot of merchandise, the non-transforming Titan figures, Angry Birds TFs has an Optimus . . .

 

I still collect TFs, and Prime is one of my favorites. I used to go for every unique mold Optimus Prime (usually don't get repaints), but these days I narrowed it to unique mold mainline Primes.

I go for the main lines, obviously - then I make a judgement call on others based upon how different they are, how well they are made, how they look, how rare, etc.
